Every state is different.  In MA it is 12 CE's per year. 

Continuing education credit hours in my licencing region is a minimum of 40 per 2 year cycle.

20 in MN, 3 of which are in x-ray, 1 in boundaries. If you have any additional certifications you may need more to keep them up as well. 

In New York, you need a total of 36 hours over 3 years of which 12 must come from Category 1.

There are 2 types of hours, CME 1 and CME 2, we need 75 CME 1 hours, seminars, online seminars and 75 CME 2, private study and readings.

In Florida a total of 40 hours of approved class work is needed and 16 of those hours must be in documentation, ethics, Rules and regulations, FL law.

Continuing educations credits for Chiropractors vary from state to state   The state’s chiropractic board set the requirements. 

It depends on the state. Illinois requires licensed physicians to take 150 hours every 3 years, 60 of which much be through accredited sources. 

It depends on the state in Texas 16
